Students threatened, assaulted off campus Adam Eaglin THE CHRONICLE

by

Amid mounting concerns about students’ safety off-campus, Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong told reporters last week that he does not intend to publicly release the DNA evidence from a rape that allegedly occurred March 13 at a Duke men’s lacrosse party.

The results of a DNA test that will compare samples from 46 members of the lacrosse team with evidence taken from the alleged victim and the scene of the crime at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd., are expected to come back this week.

Nifong has said, however, that regardless of the test’s findings he will not file charges until the week of April 10.

The gjrowing controversy surrounding the alleged rape —coupled with accusations of racially charged language at the party —has increased strains on town-gown

relations,

culminating in threats and an act of violence Friday toward students.

In response to safety concerns, Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said the Duke University Police Department is increasing security measures in the areas surrounding East Campus.

“We’re taking this very seriously, and we know that the lacrosse incident aside, we’re almost now addressing more long-term issues—issues ofrace, issues of gender relationships,

Duke-Durham relations—long characterized by tension and unease—have recently been exacerbated by allegations that members of the men’s lacrosse team raped, sodomized, strangled and robbed an exotic dancer at a party during Spring Break.

An electrical shortage ignited a small fire on the first floor of the Duke Medical Center Friday afternoon.

Approximately 25 firefighters responded to the call at the hospital a few minutes after the initial automatic fire alarm went off at 3 p.m. No injuries were reported.

“We responded to an automatic fire alarm which was upgraded to a small structure fire,” said Acting Battalion Chief Jeffrey Kusz . “As far as we know, it was a malfunction in the electrical panels within the electrical room, and it burned up two to three panels in the room.”

Electricity was shut down in the entire hospital, and power was reverted to the backup generator,

American journalist returns home by

Glen Johnson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON —Journalist Jill Carroll was back on U.S. soil Sunday, tearfully embracing her parents and twin sister after 82 days as a hostage in Iraq that she said gave her a deep appreciation for the myriad simple joys of freedom.

“I finally feel like I am alive again. I feel so good,” Carroll said. “To be able to step outside anytime, to feel the sun direcdy on your face —to see the whole sky. These are luxuries that we just don’t appreciate every day.”

The 28-year-old Christian Science Monitor reporter arrived at Boston’s Logan In-

ternational Airport Just after noon, and was quickly driven away in a police-escorted limousine to the newspaper’s headquarters.

She didn’t step out into public view, but reports- on the Monitor’s Web site, along with photos, showed a joyful and tearful reunion with her parents and twin sister.

Carroll has said her kidnappers confined her to a small, soundproof room with frosted windows before she was released Thursday after nearly three months

in captivity.

She was seized Jan. 7 in one of Baghdad’s most dangerous neighborhoods, near where a Sunni Arab official had

agreed to meet her for an interview that never took place. The gunmen who abducted her killed her Iraqi translator.

She was accompanied on the flight by Monitor colleagues, who described her seven-hour flight back to the U.S. Carroll was touched to find a red rose on her dinner tray, the Monitor reported.

Later, a flight attendant dropped off a copy of Friday’s USA Today in which she saw her own face framed by a black head scarf. It was a photo of the giant poster that had been erected in Rome.

Diplomats call for governing coalition by

Anne Gearan

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq Frustrated by Iraq’s failure to form a government, the chief U.S. and British diplomats told squabbling leaders Sunday that it is time to pick a governing coalition.

Secretary ofState Condoleezza Rice was careful to say the U.S. did not want to interfere in the democratic process, yet harped on Prime Minister Ibrahim aljaafari's failure to organize a unity government. President George W. Bush has made known his opposition to a second term for afjaafari, and Shiite politicians are going public with

demands that he withdraw as a nominee After talks with the prime minister, president and others, Rice said, ‘You can't continue to leave a political vacuum.”

Diverting from a trip to England, Rice joined British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw on an unannounced visit intended to send the signal that international patience has worn thin with the stalemate among Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds since December’s elections.

“People have a sense of drift in the process, both in Iraq and outside of Iraq,” Rice told reporters.

Since the U.S.-led invasion in March

2003, Washington and London have committed nearly all the billions of dollars spent in Iraq and suffered nearly all the casualties. The U.S. and its allies hope a unified government will be able to curb the violence and pave the way for foreign troops to begin heading home.

That government may not include alJaafari. President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, is working with Sunni and secular parties to try to block al-Jaafari, deepening an impasse hardened by the recent surge in sectarian violence.

Rice and Straw said they set no deadlines in their talks.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Sundayhe wants a full Senate vote on an immigration bill this week and believes that urgent action is needed despite sharp divisions over whether proposed egislation would amount to amnesty.

My Sisters Keeper named as summer reading selection by

Leslie Griffith THE CHRONICLE

The book selection committee for the Summer Reading program has made its decision, picking Jodi Picoult’s novel My Sister’s Keeper for incoming freshmen to read next August.

While Afghanistan and father-son relationships dominated summer reading discussions last year with Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner, this year’s selection touches on issues of medical ethics and focuses on a strong female character.

In the novel, a girl 13-year-old

sues her parents for medical emancipation upon learning she was genetically created to be a donor for her leukemia-stricken older sister.

“In previous years, some books had not had strong female characters or a female author, and we all thought that was an important thing to keep in mind,” said Carol Flath, committee member and professor in the Slavic Languages and Literature department. She added that of the final four nominees, three books had female authors.

Junior Zachary Bencan, one of two students on the committee, agreed that the strong female presence played a role in the decision but noted that it was not the primary consideration of the committee.

After receiving complaints from two candidates, representatives from Duke Student Government’s Election Commission met Friday to finalize the results of runoffs in Thursday’s executive elections.

DSG conducted the runoffs again, and members of the Election Commission upheld the original results from the races in question, declaring sophomore Elliott Wolf president and freshman Jordan Giordano vice president of community interaction.

Sophomore Hasnain Zaidi and junior Daniel Bowes —the second-place finishers in the respective races—submitted complaints in response to how the runoffs were conducted. “What I wanted to do was make sure everybody’s vote was counted,” Zaidi said. “I asked them to scrutinize the results one more time.”

The election bylaws state that if no candidate receives a 10 percent plurality, a runoff must be conducted. Zaidi and Bowes, who is also a columnist for The Chronicle, drew attention to a discrepancy between two sections of the bylaws as to how the runoff is performed.

The first section—which calls for a single transferable vote process —states that if no candidate receives a 10 percent plurality, the top two finishers will compete in an exclusive runoff election.

In contrast, the second section—which establishes a process for instant runoff voting—states that the lowest finisher will be dropped from the race. The second-choice votes of all students voting for that candidate should then be redistributed among the other candidates.

The process should be repeated until a candidate receives a majority of votes.

Thursday’s election employed the instant runoff process. Zaidi and Bowes called the discrepancy between this procedure and the single transferable vote into question. The Election Commission unanimously upheld their claims.

Although the voting website used

software that is designed to conduct the instant runoff procedure, the Commission declared that the single transferable vote process should be used.

The Commission based its decision on the structure of the bylaws. The section calling for the single transferable vote preceded the section establishing the instant runoff procedure, thus overriding it.

The algorithm for the runoff was changed, and the results were recalculated using single transferable vote.

Although Zaidi and his advisor Brittany Greenfield, a junior, attributed the election’s problems to the new software—which SEE DSG ON PAGE 13

Holley Horrell THE CHRONICLE

Despite a recent trend of growth for the Graduate and Professional Student Council, candidates for seven positions on the Executive Board will run unopposed, and two positions have not generated interest going into election night Monday.

Bill LeFew, a fourth-year mathematics student and current president of GPSC, said the number of unopposed candidates this year is greater than in recent years.

He added that challengers will probably emerge during the “drop-down” election process as newly elected leaders encourage particular students to consider taking on a role.

The benefit of competition is that it creates dialogue, he said.

“It’s helpful to provide the organization with a few options,” LeFew said.

Candidates have stepped forward for every position except executive secretary and community affairs coordinator.

Nathan Kundtz, a second-year physics student who is running for vice president, said his work on the Committee for Organizational Advancement was important training for a position so involved with the internal workings of GPSC. The organization has outgrown its current structure, he said. “I’m in a good position to help develop the body as a whole,” he added.

One of his goals will be to “maximize time” by better informing GPSC representatives about issues under discussion before going into meetings, he said.

David Kahler, a first-year civil and environmental engineering student in the Pratt School of Engineering, said he is running for treasurer in order to enlarge the scope of his involvement with GPSC after a year on the Student Health Insurance Advisory Committee.

As treasurer, he said he will continue efforts to reach out more effectively to student groups to provide funding.

Lara Oliver, a fourth-year computer engineering student, will run for attorney general, having served the past year as communications coordinator and the two previous years as a student life chair.

Jerry Eidenier

The attorney general next year will likely help institute important bylaw changes, she said.

Up for Oliver’s current position, communications coordinator, is Dmitriy Morozov, a third-year computer science stu-

dent. He said he wants to institute forums increase representatives’ knowledge of issues before official meetings.

“I would like to create an online community surrounding GPSC to encourage real-life participation,” he said.

Gautham Pandiyan, a graduate student in pharmacology and cancer biology, and Gabriele Wurmitzer, a graduate student in Germanic languages and literature, are candidates for the two chairs of student life.

In his statement of intent, Pandiyan said three main focus areas include improving the graduate students’ orientation program, integrating international students and diversifying social events.

Wurmitzer currently serves as a departmental representative and as a representative to the Library Council. She was not available for comment.

Patti Thomas, a first-year sociology student who is running for student groups liaison, said she hopes to help student groups and GPSC work together to promote each other’s events.

This year, Thomas has served as chair of the GPSC committee on community life. “I’m very much a people person and would enjoy interacting with various groups,” she said.

Megan McCrudden, a graduate student in psychology, will run for ombudsperson. This year, she served as a representative on the Executive Committee of Graduate Faculty and the Student Health Insurance Advisory Committee.

She was unavailable for comment.

Heather Dean, a sixth-year graduate student in neurobiology and a Chronicle columnist who served as GPSC president last year, noted that four years ago, only two candidates entered the race for positions.

You emerge from a cave into a dark, wooded area around dusk. Twigs snap and leaves crunch beneath your feet as you walk forward amid the haunting whispers of dead souls lamenting their fate.

Through the trees, you can make out the misty surface of a turbulent river, and in the distance, a solitary figure in a long wooden boat heads your way.

The Roman hero Aeneas encounters such a scene in The Aeneid, a text studied in Clare Woods’ classical studies class. With the help of the Duke Immersive Visual Environment project, her students will soon be able to encounter a similar experience.

Woods, a professor in the romance studies department, has been working with her independent study class to create a virtual reality experience simulating the passage to Hades described in The Aeneid.

Her idea was made possible with the help of the DiVE project. The DiVE, a virtual reality system composed of a series of projectors and six walls in the shape of a cube, is housed in the Visualization Lab at CIEMAS. These projectors display images on the walls that when viewed through special glasses appear three-dimensional.

A sophisticated tracking system allows users to “pick up” objects and fight enemies—transforming a video gaming experience from a button-mashing session into a completely interactive and immersive adventure.

The DiVE, completed in June 2005, was created by Rachael Brady, the director of Duke’s Visualization Technology Group, in collaboration with the staff at the Pratt School of Engineering and the Office of Information Technology.

SAFETY from page 1 and these are not issues that are going to get solved with one or two immediate interventions,” Moneta said.

Friday evening, Durham Police Department officers notified the residents of houses along N. Buchanan Boulevard that there were unsubstantiated threats of gang-related violence targeted at Duke students.

The warning was only one of several recent accounts of threats of violence against students and faculty, including reports of harassment directed at men’s lacrosse coach Mike Pressler and members of the men’s lacrosse team.

Senior Morgan Gieseke said she and senior Basil Camu were surrounded and verbally harassed at Cook Out restaurant on Hillsborough Road Friday morning around 3 a.m.

The altercation resulted in a physical assault on Camu, who was briefly knocked unconscious, Gieseke said.

She said that after purchasing their food, she and Camu were forced to wait in the drive-thru because the car in front of them had blocked them.

While waiting, a group of men approached their car.

“All of a sudden we heard all this screaming,” Gieseke said. “The people were saying, ‘This is Central territory.’”

Central refers to North Carolina Central University, where the alleged rape victim is a student.

Gieseke said the men, who looked to be in their early 20s, made comments like “Duke kids aren’t welcome here because they’re all rapists” and “We don’t want Duke kids here at Cook Out because they’re going to rape our women.”

When Camu put his head out of the window to hear what the men were saying, Gieseke said an individual approached Camu from behind and punched him in the back of the head. After Camu recovered from the attack, the two students managed to leave the parking lot, but they were briefly pursued by the car that had previously blocked them in.

Lt. Sara-Jane Raines, administrative services executive officer for DUPD, confirmed the student’s report.

Raines said the students called DPD

In response to threats of violence against students, police have stepped up patrols off East Campus. shortly after leaving Cook Out. The call was then transferred to the DUPD. “We’re assisting in any way we can to identify the perpetrators,” she said.

Raines noted that no arrests had been made as of Sunday night.

Police also have yet to find suspects in relation to Friday’s threats of violence against houses on N. Buchanan Boulevard.

DPD desk officer D. Myatt told The Chronicle Friday that the rumors of violence originated from the magistrate’s office, but he added that they could not be traced to a credible source.

Multiple students also confirmed that at around 5:30 p.m. a car drove by 710 N. Buchanan Blvd., and a passenger pointed his fingers—in the shape of a gun—at residents who had gathered on the porch.

“We had been sitting on our porch hanging out, and at least three cars went by flicking us off, saying, “You’!! see,’” senior Bryan Cappelli said.

Moneta said administrators, Duke po-

lice and residents along N. Buchanan Boulevard met multiple times over the weekend to address students’ safety concerns and to formulate a plan to ensure security in the coming weeks.

The current security plan, he said, will primarily involve an increase in the frequency and coverage ofDuke police patrols.

The plan, Moneta added, will stay in effect “indefinitely.”

Although some residents have vacated their homes in response to the threats, those residents who remained Sunday said they were not worried about their safety.

tion of DNA evidence from 46 Duke men's lacrosse players March 23.

Critics claim that the DPD violated North Carolina General Statute 15A-273 and the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution by testing players whom they had no reason to suspect individually. "There were no reasonable grounds to obtain a court order against 46 young men for an alleged crime in which the police contend there were at most three assailants," lawyer Alex Charns wrote in an e-mail. "Once the constitutional wall that protects us all is torn down, what is the next step, getting court-ordered DNA tests for every male Duke student or setting up roadblocks near East Campus?"

The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, except when there "is probable cause... particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."NC Statute 15A-273 further constrains the conditions under which law enforcement can collect nontestimonial evidence. It limits them to cases in which a felony or Class A1 or Class 1 misdemeanor has been committed, and when there are "grounds to suspect that the person named or described in the affidavit committed the offense."

Several lawyers said because the police do not believe all 46 players took part in the alleged rape, they have no right to test indiscriminately the DNA of every white player. "The larger the group becomes, the more of a fishing expedition it becomes," said Durham Public Defender Lawrence Campbell, Trinity 76 and graduate of North Carolina Central University School of Law. "You're starting to violate people's privacy rights in the hope you're going to catch someone," Campbell said.

District Attorney Mike Nifong has defended the DNA testing of the team, telling the Durham Herald-Sun, "It's perfectly logical that we concentrate our efforts on this group."

Duke Law School Professor Bob Mosteller said he cannot speak to North Carolina law, but he believes the Fourth Amendment could be read to allow this type of search.

"I would think that this would be ordinarily okay," Mosteller said. "It would be like if you find a class ring next to a dead body, then you can take the fingerprints from everyone in that class."

Yale University topped the list for best law schools. The School ofLaw’s ranking of 11th came behind University of California at Berkeley, University of Michigan and the University of Virginia, which all tied for eighth on the list.

The School of Law placed just ahead of Northwestern University, which was ranked 12th.

Within the School of Law, the environmental and the intellectual property law programs were ranked eighth and seventh, respectively.

The law school also made the list of “most diverse schools of law” and was included on a list for law schools with the highest employment rates —placing 95 percent of students at jobs by graduation and 100 percent of students within nine months of graduating.

environments and has enormous implications across a variety of disciplines.

She cited examples such as allowing medical students to practice dissection, help people get over their phobias by virtually exposing them to what they are afraid of and illustrate educational concepts that are easier to understand three-dimensionally than in a book.

In order to use the DiVE, the user stands in the middle of the cube and manipulates a device similar to a video game controller to select display options.

The virtual reality environments—often referred to as “Caves”—use one to four walls to project three-dimensional images.

Duke’s “Cave,” however, contains six sides and is one of only seven such facilities in the world.

“A six-sided Cave is a rare thing—it’s definitely an all-around experience,” explained Robert Duvall, lecturer in the computer science department. “With a four-sided cube you don’t have a ceiling, and you don’t have a floor. So you look up and the illusion is gone.”

The DiVE features state-of-the-art technologies like brand new projectors that have not been released on the market yet, an advanced tracking system that uses ultrasonic waves to pinpoint the user’s loca-

tion in the DiVE and 3-D glasses with liquid crystal displays synchronized to the projectors.

DiVE’s myriad applications have led to nearly 70 individual departments to contact Brady about ideas for programs.

One project already in the worksis the result of collaboration between the cognitive studies department and the clinical therapy department at Duke University Hospital.

Brady said the group is designing a virtual “crack house” to try and help people get over their addiction to heroine. They are studying how individuals suffering from addiction react once placed in certain environments.

Brady, however, appreciates the DiVE primarily for how it can enhance the educational experience for Duke students, like with the “DiVE Underworld” project.

Using passages from the text and historical accounts of life in Ancient Greece and Rome, the students are working to create an authentic environment for the user.

Duvall estimated some form of the Underworld program will be completed by the end of this summer, but Woods and her students hope this will be an ongoing project.

“Ideally, I’m sure it’s going to take a few years, we will have a huge interactive system with a bunch of myths all built around this little piece,” said Jake Pelley, a senior and one of the four students in Woods’ independent study class.

ATTENTION: BONFIRE GUIDELINES April 3, 2006 This is to remind you about revisions to the the bonfire policy in effect for this year. Last year, the Durham Fire Marshal revoked the remaining 2005 bonfire permits following a bonfire that, in his view, had gotten out of control. The university, with student input, has agreed upon operating rules that will govern all future bonfires and will help ensure them to be safe celebrations. The Durham Fire Marshal has clearly stated that we will lose our privilege to have future bonfires if we are unable to adhere to the guidelines below.

1. The University has one remaining City bonfire permit for April 4, 2006. The Fire Marshal has

not issued an official permit, but will make a game-day ruling when the operating procedures have been fulfilled.

2. The only permitted bonfire site is in front of House P. A 40-foot boundary will be placed around the bonfire. The bonfire is to remain wholly within the boundary and members of the Duke Community are to remain outside the boundary.

3. Benches should be stacked no more than 6 feet high, with no more than 2 benches stacked horizontally on top of one another. Benches should not be placed on end.

4. Intermittently, the bonfire must “bum down” to a safe height. During “bum down” periods, no additional fuel may be added into the bonfire. This includes anything flammable. There are no

exceptions.

5. If you cany a beverage, use a plastic or metal container. There will be additional trash receptacles on the quad.

6. Do not sit or stand on building roofs.

7. Do not use residence hall furniture or left-over wood as fuel for the bonfire.

8. Do not add fuel to the fire more than two hours following the

game.

9. The use of gasoline or any other fire accelerant is prohibited.

10. Bonfires on any other days or location will not be permitted by the City and are, therefore, illegal. Anyone who participates in a bonfire on any other day or another location will be subject to University discipline and potential criminal prosecution.

The Durham Fire Marshal has the right to revoke this and future bonfire permits if these rules are not followed or the crowd gets out of control. Let’s not abuse this privilege. Celebrating basketball victories with a bonfire is a Duke tradition. Follow these basic safety rules so we can maintain this tradition for years to come.

Lauren Kobylarz THE CHRONICLE

BOSTON Going into Sunday night’s Final Four game against LSD, head coach Gail Goestenkors had a plan for the Blue Devils. game It worked.

Duke preyed on the analysis rers’ weaknesses, consistently clogging the middle of the floor to force LSU to take outside shots. And the Tigers, who shot just 29 percent from the field, just couldn’t handle it.

“Several teams have played them in a similar fashion,” Goestenkors said. “You know who the go-to players are on LSD’s team.

And we’re not the first team to sag off of

[Erica] White. She has seen that before. So we just tried to mix things up a little bit.”

The Blue Devils were able to hold LSD’s stars to minimal scoring on the night.

Goestenkors said she gave guard Lindsey Harding the responsibility to double up on All-American Seimone Augustus, helping Wanisha Smith to shut her down. The pair was effective—Augustus finished the game with 14 points, nine points shy ofher season average of 23, and failed to score during the first half.

“I just tried to get her to take some uncomfortable shots,” Smith said. “Towards the end, she started to make some shots but that SEE GAME PLAN ON PAGE 4

Duke finishes 2nd, 5 strokes back of leader Lane Towery THE CHRONICLE

Without last season’s NCAA Champion Anna Grzebien teeing off with the team, the women’s golf team finished the Bryan National Collegiate in second place.

With only four players, Duke failed to extend its streak of five consecutive wins at the event, holding the second place spot from wire to wire.

Grzebien, currently ranked seventh, skipped the Blue Devils’ last tournament before postseason play to compete as an amateur in the LPGA’s Kraft Nabisco Championship. She missed the cut by eight strokes at the major tournament.

“It’s not an issue for this team,” head coach Dan Brooks said of competing without Grzebien. “These girls are going to shine, they’re going to play better with

pressure.”

Duke shot under par as a team on the final day, but could not catch the Bulldogs.

“When you’ve got talent from top to bottom, everybody’s playing to count,” Brooks said. “It’s a tremendous experience to play without that mental cushion.”

The short-handed Blue Devils were paced by top-ranked Amanda Blumenherst, who finished the tournament in second. After carding a career-worst 6-overpar 78 on the first day, the freshman stormed back to even par with two straight rounds in the red.

Similarly, sophomore Jennifer Pandolfi recovered from a poor first round and fin-

ished tied for ninth with teammate Liz Janangelo at 5-over par.

“There were some things I was really excited about,” Brooks said. “Jennifer’s 68 [Sunday] was really good. Her last two days were just really good.”

Janangelo fell to ninth-place after leading the tournament by four strokes on the first day. The senior flew out of the gate by posting five birdies in her first six holes, but finished the tournament 10-over par from there.

“Liz has shined for us many times—she’ll be back,” Brooks said.

Freshman Jennie Lee, playing with a new grip, was the fourth Blue Devil competing Sunday. Her 6-over-par 222 put her into a tie for 13th.

Brooks attested that the new grip combined with windy conditions caused her to struggle at times, but that she managed well.

“I have to hand it to her,” Brooks said “I’m proud of her.”

Last weekend’s tournament marked the fourth time this year that Duke failed to finish in first—a surprising trend for a team that has been dominant the past few years.

“I’m confident with where we’re headed right now,” Brooks said. “We just need to stay patient and realize we have talent and be confident in that talent.”

Duke will have another chance to win on the same course when they return to Browns Summit for the NCAA Regionals May 11.

The Blue Devils next tee off in the ACC championships at Pinehurst April 14-16.

Duke suffered its first loss of the season Saturday, falling to No. 4 Virginia, 11-10, at home. The No. 2 Blue Devils (91, 3-1 in the ACC) jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on goals from Katie Chrest and Michelle Menser, but a 6-1 Cavalier run in the second half proved to be too much for Duke.

VIRGINIA I_l “I think that DUKE 10 we won the draw really cleanly in the first half, or more cleanly than we did in the second half,” Chrest said. “I hate to say it, but when we were tired in the second half, we really didn’t take care of the ball.”

The Blue Devils bested Virginia (11-2, 3-1) in every statistical category except goals and saves, recording 13 turnovers to the Cavaliers 18 and 20 ground balls to their opponents 14.

“If you look at the stats, they paint a very interesting picture,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “I thought we had some good opportunities, but I thought we didn’t shoot well. I mean, we took 30 shots and scored 10 goals. Not good.”

With less than four minutes to play and Duke trailing 11-9, Caroline Cryer quicksticked a pass from Megan Del Monte into the left side of the goal to cut the Cavalier lead to one. But it was the last time Duke would score.

Chrest had two chances to tie the game in the final minutes, twice bouncing shots off Miles that skirted harmlessly away.

“I take that shot all the time,” Chrest said. “It just wasn’t very good shot selection.

I should have shot the ball low, and it would have had a better chance of going in.”

The Blue Devils had sported a balanced offense in the first half as a different attacker scored each ofDuke’s six goals. The half ended with Duke ahead, 6-4, but Virginia came back fighting in the second period.

After a shot by Chrest sailed past the left shoulder of Virginia goalie Ginger Miles and into the cage, the Blue Devils held a three-goal advantage, their largest

The Blue Devils tried to knot thegame at 11 in the final minutes, but could not find the net, losing by one. lead of the game.

The Cavaliers answered just over a minute later, scoring two goals within 15 seconds ofeach other. The first came on a ground ball that was scooped up in front ofDuke goalie Megan Huether and put in the back of the net, and the second came on a shot by Cavalier attacker Blair Weymouth, who won the draw and took it down the field to score unassisted.

It seemed as if the Blue Devils were back in control when Kristen Waagbo connected with Chrest to push Duke’s lead back to two, but Virginia responded with four straight scores to recapture a 10-8 lead.

“I thought that Virginia’s offense had some nice attackers,” Kimel said. “But we just didn’t take care of the ball, bot-

tom line.”

Duke rallied with an unassisted goal from Carolyn Davis with 13:18 to go. But after several turnovers in the midfield, the clock ticked down to 6:40, and Virginia scored once more on a quick-stick bounce shot to lead by two again.

“I feel like we just completely got away from our game plan, were not composed and that was really disappointing,” Kimel said. “And I think that Virginia played with a lot more heart than we did.”

Duke faces undefeated No. 1 Northwestern Friday at Koskinen Stadium.

“I hope [the loss] motivates us,” Kimel said. “I said to the girls, ‘At some point our mistakes are going to catch up with us,’ and they did.”

Senior Clara Horowitz continued her dominance of the distance events from the indoor season, finishing first at the Stanford Invite this weekend in the 10,000-meter run.

Horowitz, who finished second in this year’s NCAA Indoor Championships in the 5,000-meter run, ran the secondfastest time in Duke history in the 10K. Her time of 33:05.37 bested Arizona State’s junior Amy Hasting—the runner who beat Horowitz by less than a second in the 5K at the NCAA Indoors—by more than 12 seconds.

“Clara had a tremendous performance in her race,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “She put a stamp on that race and destroyed the field in the last 600 meters.”

Horowitz and fellow seniors Sally Meyerhoff and Laura Stanley qualified for the NCAA Regional with their 10,000-meter times. Meyerhoffs time of 33:39.53 was the third fastest in Duke history. Sophomore Tia Ferguson also qualified for regionals with her finish of 16:29.52 in the 5,000-meter run.

Members of the women’s field team also qualified for the NCAA Regional event with their results at the Charlotte Invitational. Sophomore Lara Jones finished first in the pole vault with a jump of 12-05.5—the third best height in school history. Sophomore Daina Pucurs and junior Beth Maher finished second and third in the javelin, respectively, to qualify for the NCAA Regionals.

The men’s top finisher was sophomore Jade Ellis, who won the triple jump with a mark of 49-01. It was his first event since returning from an injury he suffered in the indoor season.

Alison Bales, the Bridgeport Region's Most Outstanding Player, scored seven points, grabbed five rebounds and talliedfour assists.

W. BBALL from TC page 1 in the game. The Blue Devils’ offense was never spectacular, but 64 points got the job done on a night when LSU could rarely find the bottom of the basket.

“I can’t say enough about my team and specifically the effort they put forth on the defensive end,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “LSU is an exceptional team, and I thought that this was one of our best defensive efforts of the year.”

Duke went into halftime up 26-15, after holding Augustus, a first-team AllAmerican, scoreless during the period.

The Blue Devils did not let up after the break, as they nudged the lead up to 15 with two straight Mistie Williams buckets to open the second half.

But in the final game of her illustrious career, Augustus did not let her team get bounced from the Final Four without a fight. The senior scored seven points during an 11-5 LSU run that closed Duke’s lead to six at 37-31 with 12 minutes to go.

With the outcome of the game appearing to be in question for the first time since the very beginning of the first half, Duke regained its form and made sure to erase any doubt quickly. Over the next four and a half minutes, the Blue Devils scored 13 points while holding the Tigers to just one.

Lindsey Harding, Monique Currie and Jessica Foley all scored on acrobatic drives down the lane and Williams, who led Duke with 14 points, added her final field goal of the game on a fast break when Wanisha Smith pilfered the ball from a frustrated Augustus.

The margin would never get closer than 14 after the run. After the game, Duke celebrated a successful execution of its game plan and the team’s first trip to the National Championship game since 1999.

“We got a job, Coach G trusted us to get the defensive job done and there wasn’t one letdown on the team,” Williams said.

“We worked so hard throughout the season on our defense because we were so offensive-minded at the beginning of the year. And as the season went on we knew that defense was going to help us win games toward the end of the season.”

The Blue Devils raced out to an 184 lead 10 minutes into the first half, barely allowing Augustus to touch the ball and doubling inside whenever the Tigers posted up Fowles. Harding and Smith took turns denying the ball from Augustus, and a combination of Williams, Bales and Chante Black houndedFowles inside.

“We knew to be successful we had to shut Seimone and Sylvia down,” Williams said.

Alternating between zone and man-toman, Duke forced LSU out of its normal game and exposed the Tigers’ inability to

Tigers’ offense to slowly unravel in the second half. Duke was aggressive in the paint and under the basket, especially on defense.

As the last three minutes ticked off the clock, Duke’s work had already paid off. With 2:39 to play, Bales left the court to a standing ovation from the Blue Devil fans. All-American guard Monique Currie scored two quick baskets and then slowed the pace of the game. When she brought the ball up the court for the final time seconds later, the senior paused as she dribbled and looked down the floor with a smile on her face. The game was in the bag.

“So I just give them tremendous credit,” Williams said of her teammates. “They got a job and they nailed it. And it showed.”—

is what true All-Americans do.”

In the same way, the Blue Devils used their center Alison Bales to double up with either Mistie Williams or Chante Black on LSU center Sylvia Fowles. With Bales’ help, Duke held Fowles to 3-for-8 shooting from the field.

“Bales was in charge of double responsibility on Sylvia Fowles,” Goestenkors said. “Lindsey had Seimone and Ali was responsible for doubles on Fowles. So a double with a 6’5” and a 6’7” person—probably they haven’t seen that all year long because we do have that size, and we have got depth to continue to rotate fresh people on them.”

The Tigers did, however, make a few runs that brought the game within reach. Midway through the first half, LSU went on a ninepoint scoring streak that brought the score within five points. But even when the Tigers found ways to penetrate the Blue Devil defense, Duke turned around and found a new way to further frustrate LSU. “I think once they become comfortable with whatever you’re doing, then they’re very efficient, and so that’s why we did that,” Goestenkors said. “But we also changed things up and ran some zones at them as well.”

The Blue Devils started the game in a press, but switched regularly from zone to man defense and back again. Duke put pressure on the Tigers constantly, pushing them to attempt tough shots in the limited scoring windows they could get.

“We had some difficulties knocking down open shots,” LSU guard Scholanda Hoston said.

“We didn’t execute our offense and didn’t get good shots. The shots that we were trying to take were a little bit out ofrhythm and out of character.”

LSU’s 15 first-half points set a recordlow for scoring in a women’s Final Four game. The Tigers shot just 29 percent in the game, and they did not hit a shot from outside the lane until Florence Williams knocked down a 15-footer 11 minutes into the contest.

Duke’s offense was efficient enough to assure victory. Harding guided a balanced attack in which no Blue Devil scored more than Williams’ 14. Currie, Harding and freshman Abby Waner joined Williams in double figures.

The Blue Devils now turn their focus to Maryland, which Duke defeated twice during the regular season but lost to in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament. With 14 seconds left in the first game, Maryland and Duke fans rose simultaneously to give the Terrapins a standing ovation.

The Blue Devil faithful, of course, were responding to the ousting of Ivory Latta and North Carolina, a team Duke has had no answer for in five straight losses over the past two seasons. Goestenkors said her team was busy preparing for its own national semifinal game while Maryland was closing out its victory. But the Blue Devils are fully aware that the path to the program’s first National Championship will

Terps topple Tar Heels for 2nd time Sendek by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON Maryland took it slow, took it inside, and took all the fun out of the Tar Heels.

The Terrapins —the only team to beat No. 1 North Carolina (33-2) this season one-upped their own upset Sunday night, beating the Tar MARYLAND 81 Heels 81-70 in the UNC 70 NCAA women’s national semifinal. Now Maryland will play for the first women’s basketball title in school history.

And the Terps did it their way: bumping feisty North Carolina point guard Ivory Latta, outmuscling the energetic, uptempo Tar Heels and forcing a halfcourt game that wiped the smiles right off their faces.

In Just four years under coach Brenda Frese, Maryland (33-4) has risen to stand among the nation’s elite. The 33 wins is the most for any Maryland basketball team—men or women.

“They have the heart of a lion,” Frese said. “They believe in each other I’m really proud of them. All season long this team has played with a chip on their shoulder. They’ve got a lot of believers tonight after the performance they put on.” . The Terps dominated inside as they have all season. Maryland, which led the nadon with an average rebounding margin of more than 12, beat North Carolina on the glass 41-31. The young post players who made that happen—sophomores Crystal Langhome and Laura Harper also asserted their strong scoring presence.

Harper had a career-high 24 points and Langhorne scored 23 for the Terps, who had beaten ACC rival North Carolina 9895 in overtime in the regular season. Carolina avenged that with a 91-80 in the ACC tournament, but the stakes were much higher in this rubber match.

The Terps will play Duke in the tide game Tuesday night. Duke beat LSU Duke 64-45 in the second semifinal.

Maryland ran its halfcourt came to near perfection, getting the ball into Langhome or Harper for basket after basket.

“That’s what was working,” Frese said.

The second-seeded Terrapins rejoice after knocking off North Carolina in the NCAA semifinals Sunday.

“It was, ‘Who could stop who?’ We wanted to turn them into a jump-shootingteam.”

Erlana Larkins led the Tar Heels with 28 points and 10 rebounds. Latta was banged up, knocked down and carried off the court at one point after tweaking her knee while coming down with a pass on the baseline.

She lay in obvious pain for several minutes and was carried off the floor to a standing ovation, then trotted back on the floor two minutes later. But she never quite got on track, finishing with 14

points, four assists and made just one of 10 3-pointers.

“It affected me a lot and I tried not to think about it,” Latta said. “I tried to do what I could to help the team and not let it affect me. Erlana told me 'We need

you.’”

And indeed they did—but it still wasn’t

enough.

“I didn’t feel like we were in a rhythm after Ivory got hurt,” UNC head coach Sylvia Hatched said. “She’s our spark. We didn’t seem to have any energy.”

PHOENIX North Carolina State basketball coach Herb Sendek has accepted an offer to become the coach at Arizona State, an official with knowledge of the deal confirmed Saturday night.

Sendek is 258-158 in 13 seasons as a head coach, die last 10 with North Carolina State, where he is 191-132.

Sendek led the Wolfpack to five straight NCAA tournament appearances —tying a school record set by the late Jim Valvano—and reached the regional semifinals in last season.

He has been named coach of the year in two conferences —the Atlantic Coast Conference two years ago and the MidAmerican Conference in 1995, when he coached at Miami of Ohio.

The Sun Devils have been looking for a coach since March 10, when Athletic Director Lisa Love announced that Rob Evans would not return next season.

Despite a string of NCAA appearances, Sendek had come under criticism from Wolfpack fans, many of them angry at his 17-54 record against Duke, North Carolina and Wake Forest, the Wolfpack’s three in-state ACC rivals.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski understands better than most. He went 38-47 in his first three seasons with the Blue Devils and heard plenty of grumbling from fans, alumni and boosters, known as the Iron Dukes.

“There are still some people I would never talk to from that,” Coach K said nearly two weeks ago, when asked about Sendek’s situation. “But I’ll always talk to my president and my administration—they didn’tflinch. He’s really one of the terrific coaches in our country. He’s a proven winner.”

to garner honors

From staff reports Despite Duke’s exit from the NCAA Tournament in the Sweet 16, JJ. Redick and Shelden Williams continued to draw headlines during Final Four weekend.

Redick was named the Naismith Trophy Men’s College Player of the Year Sunday, becoming the fourth Duke player to win the award in the last eight seasons.

Meanwhile, Williams was named the National Defensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season, making him just the fifth player to receive the distinction two years in a row.

In winning the Naismith Trophy, Redick joins Johnny Dawkins, Danny Ferry, Christian Laettner, Elton Brand, Shane Battier and Jason Williams as the seventh Blue Devil to win the award.

The award is presented annually to the men’s and women’s college players of the year by the Atlanta Tipoff Club’s Board of Selectors—a collection of journalists, coaches and administrators—and fans, who account for 25 percent of the vote. The Naismith Trophy is widely considered to be the most prestigious personal award in college basketball.

“When you consider all aspects of his game and everything he brings to the floor, there is no doubtRedick is the best player in the country,” said Gray Stokan, presi-

dent of the Atlanta Tipoff Club. “He helped lead Duke to a great season and, along the way, turned in one of the greatest personal performances of all time. He had a fantastic career for the Blue Devils and really embodies what the Naismith Trophy stands for.”

While averaging 27.4 points per game, a mark second in the nation only to Gonzaga’s Adam Morrison, Redick led Duke to a 32-4 record while capturing the ACC regular season and Tournament titles and the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament before falling to LSU in the Sweet 16. Redick beat out fellow finalists Rudy Gay of UConn, Morrison and Allan Ray ofVillanova for the award.

Redick also received the Senior CLASS Award over the weekend, an award given annually to the outstanding men’s and women’s senior college basketball player.

Williams’ reign as two-time National Defensive Player of the Year marks the continuation ofDuke’s dominance of the award since its creation. In the 21-year history of the award, six Duke players have received the distinction nine times, while the rest of the NCAA schools have captured it 12 times among seven different players. No school besides Duke has had more than one player win the award. Williams led the ACC in rebounding and blocks and was top five in the league in steals.

Hot bats lift Duke to Ist road victory by

Tim Britton

THE CHRONICLE

JESSICA SCHREIBER/THE CHRONICLE

Duke won its first road game in the past two seasons Friday and it repeated thefeat Sunday to win its series against Boston College.

Duke won its first road game and its first conference series of the season over the weekend, taking two of three from Boston College at Campanelli Stadium. The Blue Devils (10-23, 3-9 in the ACC) won the rubber game of the series Sunday afternoon, 14-7, behind two home runs from freshman Nate Freiman.

“I feel good for our players to DUKE 14 win an ACC series and to also do it on the road,” head coachSean BC McNally said. “Those are two good things right there. All three 4 games were very different types DUKE BC 15 °f games, and to get two of them was very good for us.”

Duke got off to a quick start DUKE Sunday, scoring five times in the first two innings to grab control of BC the game. Freshman catcher Matt Williams drove in a first-inning run with a double, while Jonathan Nicolla’s solo homer and Freiman’s two-run shot to right center field highlighted a four-run second.

Boston College (15-12-1, 4-8) cut the lead to three on multiple occasions, only to see Duke respond each time.

The Blue Devils scored twice in the sixth to push the lead back to 8-3 and twice more in the eighth to make it 11-6.

Shortstop Brett Bardes drove in five runs on the day, including a two-run homer in the ninth to extend the Duke advantage to 13-7. Freiman followed it up with his second bomb of the day, a solo shot to center that capped the day’s scoring.

Jonathan Anderson (2-3) pitched the first six and onethird innings for the Blue Devils to pick up the win. Nate Jeanes (1-2) took the loss for Boston College, surrendering six runs in four innings.

Sunday’s slugfest followed a 15-4 Boston College romp Saturday and a 16-inning pitcher’s duel Friday, won by Duke, b-3.

The Blue Devils truly earned their first road win of the season Friday, coming back to win after the Eagles had rallied to tie the game at three in the bottom of the ninth.

Duke finally broke the 3-3 tie in the top of the 16th when freshman Tim Sherlock scored on a wild pitch.

After Javier Socorro walked, sophomore Jimmy Gallagher provided the Blue Devils with some insurance with a tworun blast through a stiff wind.

“When you get that late in the game, often times if you can get a couple runs to separate, that’s what you need,” McNally said.

Ryan Perry (1-0) shut down the Eagles in the bottom of the frame to preserve the dramatic victory and to cap one of Duke’s best pitching performances of the year.

Junior Danny Otero started for the Blue Devils and pitched the first 10 innings, allowing only three runs on seven hits, while fanning seven Eagles. Freshman Andrew Wolcott threw four and two-thirds scoreless frames before yielding to Perry in the 15th.

Friday’s win halted a nine-game losing streak and ended a three-week span in which Duke had dropped 12 of its last 13 games. “[Friday’s] the kind of game that’s important,” McNally said. “We played 16 innings in game one and to play the way we did—we really caught the ball well under a lot of pressure —to come out and win it was important.” . The return of Nate Freiman, a Massachusetts native, ignited the offense. The freshman designated hitter, who had missed a total of 27 games with an injury, hit three home runs in the series.

“Nate Freiman really had a great series, especially coming back,” McNally said. “He hadn’t had that much time off, but he didn’t show too many signs of rust. As a freshman and also back at home where he’s from, to come out and have an impact for our lineup was great. I think definitely our guys fed off having somebody have that much success in our lineup —it kind of got everybody going.”

Duke will look to ride the momentum from its first two road wins of the season into High Point for a single game Wednesday before the Blue Devils host Virginia for a three-game set next weekend. ”

Baker with the team’s dual match

The Blue Devils came away with one victory in two narrowly decided ACC matches this weekend.

Against No. 13 Miami, all eyes were on freshman Kiril Dimitrov, who came into the match as the only undefeated Blue Devil in ACC DUKE 3 competition with FSU 4 a 3-0 record.

After dropping a one-sided first set DUKE 6-1, the Bulgari-3 an roared back MIAMI and claimed the next two close sets 7-6, 7-5, in the day’s decisive match.

Two days later, Duke (12-5, 4-1 in the ACC) found itself in the exact same situation against No. 27 Florida State (12-9,5-2) at 3-3, but could not come away with a win.

With the match leveled at 2-2, Christopher Brown fought to preserve Duke’s perfect record in the ACC. But the senior came up short in a straightset loss 6-2, 7-6 (5).

The match that followed would finish Duke’s chances of remaining undefeated in conference play. No. 2 Jonathan Stokke, was upset by Jonathas Sucupira ofFlorida State to effectively end the match, 4-2.

Dimitrov also suffered his first ACC loss of the season in straight sets against the Seminoles, 6-3, 6-2, Sunday.

His teammate, fifth-ranked Ludovic Walter, split his two singles matches this weekend. Miami’s Luigi D’Agord, currendy ranked 7th in the ITA, upset Walter Saturday, but Duke’s top-flight player but bounced back against Florida State to win, 4-6, 6-2, 6-2.

On the doubles end, Duke was 1-1 during the weekend. Stephen Amritraj and Peter Rodrigues won both of their matches, but teammates Stokke and Joey Atas, ranked 29th in the ITA, fell 85 and 8-3 against Miami (12-3, 4-2) and Florida State, respectively.

Head coach Jay Lapidus has kept his lineup consistent for most of the season with the exception of the sixth singles spot, which he has rotated regularly. The Blue Devils have not captured a point in the position for seven consecutive matches, including the two this weekend.

In a high-tension ACC battle that featured many hotly contested calls and several verbal bouts between the competitors, Carlton pulled out a victory to give the No. 12 Blue Devils (12-5, 5-1 in the ACC) a gritty 4-3 victory over No. 37 Maryland (9-9, 2-4).

“There tends to be some controversy in my matches,” Carleton said with a laugh. “I played that girl last year in the same position three all, and I lost it for the team. She’s not one of my favorite people, so it actually helped me this year, it really fired me up. I stayed focused, but it gave me a little adrenaline rush to just pull through in the end.”

Head coach Jamie Ashworth said the highly emotional nature of the match was a positive boost for his team, which started the match down 2-0. Several incidents involving controversial calls had raised tensions between several players.

“I’d rather have it stick to the tennis, but it pumped us up a little bit,” Ashworth said.

“We needed to have some kind of fight.”

Duke’s victory over Maryland marked the first time the Blue Devils have won a match after dropping the doubles point this season.

Both Ashworth and Carleton said they believed that the grit Duke displayed is reflective of a reinvigorated confidence.

“We know that we can play with the best of them,” Carleton said. “We were in the beginning of the season, we had a little downfall, but I think for this last stretch we’re just going to go hard and hopefully it’ll be in our favor.”

The Blue Devils’ first varsity eight broke the seven-minute mark in the last morning event, finishing in 6:43.63. Michigan, however, won the race by more than 17 seconds over Duke and seven seconds over Michigan State.

In the second varsity eight, Michigan State clinched the victory over Michigan by fewer than 2 seconds. It took the Blue Devils 7:13.60 to cross the finish line 28.10

“It was disappointing for us,” head coach Robyn Homer said. “From our performance in Texas, we had more expectations, but UM and MSU could have been the mental block for us.”

Homer said the team may have been pressured by the high level ofranked competition it faced Saturday. Against No. 7 Ohio State and Michigan State during the afternoon session, however, the Blue Devils were able to drop time.

first varsity eight and first varsity four improved their morning records by more than 10 seconds, finishing 6:43.63 and 8:04.33, respectively. The first varsity eight kept in contact with MSU and OSU up to the 1,000-meter mark, but could not maintain their pace.

“We were really disappointed in the morning,” captain Emma Darling said.

“We tried very hard individually, but there was no chemistry on the team. In the afternoon, we tried to re-esteem ourselves and had a solid race.”

Ohio State beat Michigan State in the first varsity eight race by 0.39 seconds, hitting the finishing line in 6:34.20, about a bow ball ahead the Michigan State boat, which finished in 6:34.59.

The Blue Devils’ performance was also hindered by injuries Saturday. There are currendy five injured players on the roster, and two of the rowers in the second varsity eight—lrania Miles and Michelle Lancto—returned to the lineup after nursing injuries.

“We just put the second varsity eights together last week,” Homer said. “The young people need to build the boat chemistry and get used to the high level of competition in collegiate rowing races.”

A young team, the Blue Devils are steadily improving. Over spring break, the first varsity eight took three of four races at the Longhorn Invitational in Austin, and was named the ACC Crew of the Week March 20.

The Blue Devils will next race at the Lake Wheeler Invitational in Raleigh this Saturday.

OFF-CAMPUS from page 1 Television cameras and newspaper headlines continue to

highlight the disparity between Duke and the world be-

yond its stone walls.

“Most people have been upset about what’s happened in those houses for a long time,” said Trinity Heights resident Wendy Goldstein. “It’s almost like it’s over the wall—it’s the city’s problem.”

Goldstein said some of her friends attended the vigils outside the house where the alleged gang-rape occurred, but she chose not to participate.

“Everybody’s suspicious of Duke,” said Fred Lamar, who has lived in the University faculty-filled Trinity Heights for five years. “I hear a lot of people badmouthing Duke, but the fact of the matter is what’s good for these neighborhoods is good for Duke.”

Many of the neighborhood residents questioned the University’s response to the incident, characterizing it as inadequate or otherwise sub-par. But the response is consistent with the University’s past attitudes toward off-campus housing, they said. “[The lacrosse team], in particular, thinks they can do anything they want and their daddies and lawyers will protect them,” said Holly Francis, a 14-year resident of Durham and a University employee.

“The administration has, in a sense, reinforced that idea,” added five-year Durham resident Chuck Davis. “You don’t have to go to court to judge an asshole.”

Friday night, Durham Police Department officers warned of threats of gang-related violence targeting Duke students.

Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, informed students that the DPD has increased patrol coverage in an e-mail to students Friday night.

In response, Durham resident Betty Greene wrote an accusatory e-mail to a Durham community listserv Sun-

day morning.

“Moneta’s vague, inflammatory, racist e-mail was clearly intended to make students see Durham as too dangerous for them to venture out into it,” Greene wrote. “Moneta’s e-mail will only add more strain to Duke’s rapidly deteriorating relations with the communities that already feel violated and ignored by

Duke’s behavior.”

Down the street from Dunn, still farther from Buchanan Boulevard, many Walltown residents said they are withholding judgment. Some added that they think the allegations might be a hoax.

“I think it’s BS—I don’t want to believe it,” said Alvin Black, a Howard University-bound high school senior.

Black, who plays lacrosse for his high school, knows some members of the Duke lacrosse team and now lives with Duke students.

Other Walltown residents, however, said Duke students do have a reputation for partying, and the Duke campus—still called “The Plantation” by some older residents—has a reputation for racism.

“Me, being in Durham all my life, I was always told Duke was a prejudiced campus, that if you go there after dark, something might happen to you,” said 39year-old Hubert Albright, a Walltown resident who was born and raised in Durham. “Personally, I feel like the young lady was wrong for having the job. I feel the guys might have gotten out of hand. I don’t think it’s so much a race issue.”

Sisters Ashley and Geniece Bey, like many students and Trinity Heights residents, said they are holding off judgment until DNA tests come back and charges are filed. As of Sunday, no charges had been filed.

“When I heard about it, I was a little disturbed—I’m not afraid to walk or anything, but it’s kind of a shock,” Ashley Bey said. “I think it would have been different if it was a white woman at a black school. I think if it was at another school they would find the evidence.”

Geniece Bey noted that some members of the Walltown community do show an “animosity” toward Duke students, if not toward the institution itself.

What most irked many local residents was the perceived haughtiness of Duke students in their dealings with the broader Durham community.

“It’s probably the kids that go there, thinking they’re top notch,” said 19-year-old Anthony Williams. “They think they can walk around with their nose in the air.”

Still others noted the economic disparities between the University and its surroundings.

“People have the consensus that Duke is a power broker, and they do what they want to do,” said a long-time Walltown resident who declined to offer her name. “They hold the purse string, and they use it.

“But all in all, [the University] hopes that they can bridge the gaps that do exist,” she said.

The newly elected DSG Executive Board will be in charge ofleading the Senate (above), which meets regularly throughout the year.

CARROLL from page 2 family and kissed the photo ofher fatherjim Carroll. “He looks good,” she said, and ran her fingers over the photo of her mom, Mary Beth, the Monitor reported.

Editor Richard Bergenheim said colleagues were grateful Carroll was home safe.

“When Jill is ready, the Monitor will begin to tell her story and we will also hold a press conference where she will speak. But we will not be making any further statements on Sunday and hope that the Carroll family’s privacy will be respected,” Bergenheim said in a statement.

Photographs of the reunion released by the Monitor showed Carroll with her family, her sister stroking her hair, her father casting eyes upward as he held her tightly, her mother staring intently into her face.

Carroll left the Ramstein Air Base in southwestern Germany on Saturday after arriving from Balad Air Base in Baghdad. She strongly disavowed statements she had made during captivity in Iraq and shortly after her release, saying she had been repeatedly threatened.

In a video recorded before she was freed and posted by her captors on an Islamist Web site, Carroll spoke out against the U.S. military presence. Saturday, she said the recording was made under duress.

“During my last night in captivity, my captors forced me to participate in a propaganda video. They told me I would be released if I cooperated. I was living in a threatening environment, under their control, and wanted to go home alive. So I agreed,” she said in a statement.

“Things that I was forced to say while captive are now being taken by some as an accurate reflection ofmy personal views. They are not.”

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who was held prisoner for more than five years during the Vietnam War, said Carroll found herself in “a terrible, terrible position” and said Americans should view her taped statements critical of the U.S. military presence in Iraq in that context.

“We understand when you’re held a captive in that situation that you do things under duress. God bless her, and we’re glad she’s home,” McCain said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press."

Carroll, who has studied Arabic, attracted a huge amount of sympathy during her ordeal, and a wide variety of groups in the Middle East, including the Islamic militant group Hamas, appealed for her release.

Aside from the short interview aired on Iraqi television upon her release, Carroll had not shown herself in public prior to a brief appearance Saturday.

The kidnappers, calling themselves the Revenge Brigades, had demanded the release of all female detainees in Iraq by Feb. 26 or Carroll would be killed. U.S. officials did release some female detainees at the time, but said it had nothing to do with the demands.

In the statement, Carroll also disavowed an interview she gave to the Iraqi Islamic Party, a Sunni Arab organization in whose offices she was dropped off upon her release. She said the party had promised her the interview would not be aired “and broke their word.”

The Michigan native graduated in 1999 from the University of Massachusetts with a degree in journalism. She was freelancing for the Monitor when she was kidnapped, but was hired as a staff writer about a week later to ensure she had financial benefits, Bergenheim said.

was created to conduct an instant runoff in response to last year’s six-day presidential election standstill—DSG PresidentJesse Longoria, a senior, denied this claim.

“The software ran very smoothly without any hitches,” he said. “The bylaws disagreed with themselves.”

When the software’s algorithm was changed to allow for single transferable vote, Wolf surpassed Zaidi with 55.55 percent of the 3,479 votes cast. The second runoff allotted Giordano 51.48 percent, allowing him to pass Bowes.

Wolf said he was pleased by the final results, noting that the controversy “exposed a hole in the DSG bylaws that should have been closed earlier.”

“I’m happy with the results and glad they’re official now,” he said.

Zaidi said that despite losing, he is satisfied with the election’s outcome. “I was almost positive that was going to be the result anyway,” he said. “I just wanted to make sure it was done properly. The election’s done with, and I’m not going to push the issue at all. I don’t think that’s what Duke needs.”

The Durham Fire Department was able to put out the fire at Duke Hospital Friday within 30 minutes.

Duke Stores^

said Tracey Koepke, public information officer for Duke Medical Center.

Glennys Storch, who works in support services at the hospital cafeteria, said she sat in the dark for about two minutes.

“The lights went out and the emergency lights were on,” she said. “Everybody got out of the cafeteria.”

Although the hospital was not evacuated, David Wooten, a patient staying on the ninth floor of the hospital, said he asked a nurse to remove his intravenous tube and left on his own accord.

“I could smell it burning, and they started making people go into the rooms,” he said. “The hospital was on fire, and I didn’t feel safe.”

Wooten also said he heard a “code black” being announced over the loudspeakers in the hospital. The electrical fire

was labeled a code black, which is the code for a utilities fire, Koepke said.

The combination of no visibility—because of the heavy smoke inside the hospital—and an electrical current made conditions especially serious.

Nevertheless, the fire was contained within 30 minutes, and firefighters completed internal smoke ventilation and left within two hours after arriving. The hospital went back to full power approximately five hours after the fire.

“I thought it was an outstanding job on the fire department to contain the fire to what it was,”Kusz said.

Koepke said she was pleased by the way the hospital responded to the incident. “I believe the systems that are in place at Duke Hospital all worked appropriately in terms ofshutting down the main power and going on backup power,” she said. “Faculty and staff all responded quickly and appropriately to make sure that our patients were okay.”

lessen?

On our local protest front, those of the “let’s wait and see what happens” school of thought are far less likely to be jockeying for camera time. They’re also less likely to be found using the contents of their kitchen cabinets as percussion. Thus, the assembled voluntary responders (the protesters) are not a good sampling of student opinion or student emotion.

You’d hardly believe that if you’ve read any major newspaper or turned on your television in the past few days.

.

.

noble social activists. The frequency of

protests is tied direcdy to the presence of

media—even while local papers reported the alleged incident a few days after it happened, it seems the protesters didn’t pick up their signs until the big media folks arrived on the scene.

Others have acted with more decency, taking the events (and alleged events) of the past few weeks and using them as a starting point for tangentially related discussion. Case in point: addressing racial issues, still only one facet of both the alleged crimes and the ensuing ten-

sion. The Mary Lou Williams Center became a place to exchange ideas and voice fears last week, rather than a place to publicly squabble and scream.

Where were the media then?

Discussion and rash debate, at least while the facts are still unknown, are the preferable alternatives to slinging epithets and clanging pans. There are deep-seated fears that when the dust clears, there will be not a shred of civility left in our town-gown relationship.

What, then, do a few students stand to gain from making baseless incendiary comments on television and in the papers? Certainly those calling Duke unequivocally a “culture of hate” must realize their words are reductionist and without more than a handful of supporters.

While we, free speech’s most ardent and vocal supporters, are fully behind student protesters’ right to voice their opinions, we’d hope those in front of the camera could pause to reflect on the full

impact of their words before they speak.

And speaking of reductionism, how about the media’s assumption that non-protesting Duke students are simply aloof?

Classroom time is being truncated in favor of discussions about race, sexuality and Durham’s demography. And even if all professors aren’t lending their lecture time to these discussions, students are talking about tit everywhere. From the library to the gym, in the dorm and at the GreatHall, it’s hard to walk anywhere on campus without hearing a half-dozen related conversations.

Because when FOX, MSNBC, CNN and NBC are parked at the busstop, it takes effort to be aloof.

To the media and their customers around the world: There are some among us, undergraduate and graduate students alike, who think Duke breeds cultures of hate, racism, sexism and other forms of backward thinking.

So

I have been formulating an editorial in my mind for the past three years about our Alma Mater, the song to which only people in the Duke Chorale know the words. In this editorial, I was going to sing the praises of the school we all love and adore. I was going to tell sweet anecdotes of spring break chorale tour concerts in New England and Florida where alumni stood up during that beautiful song, tears in their eyes, remembering the best days of their lives—days spent at Duke. Duke was the place where they matured, where their minds were expanded, where they learned how to become adults.

It was going to be a real tear-jerker.

But looking at the events occurring on the Duke’s campus the past few months and how I have reacted to them, I realize that I still have a lot to leam. The ways I have reacted to both the Dukeobsrvr’s blog and the recent accusations aimed at the men’s lacrosse team have surprised and disappointed me. I think this is true of us all.

I believe we all have the potential to mature, but with that we need to take responsibility for ourselves and our actions.

I will start out with myself. I will do anything to make someone laugh. Most of the time (I hope) this is a good thing. But recently I find myself regretting comments or jokes that I have made.

What seems like a one-liner to lighten the mood could really be something to which a passerby would take offense. Jill Hopman’s editorial was correct; you never know who is watching you, listening to you or judging you. Something that you mean as a joke or that is well-intentioned on your part could be truly hurtful to someone else. Did that comment that hurt another really help my life? No. Did that inappropriate joke I giggled at help another person out? No. I am struggling to control my comments and ensure that when I do speak, I say some-

thing that if repeated in any context, I would still be proud I said.

Still, we as students have been making a lot of accusations lately. The rumor mill at Duke is always running at 150 percent. Just as my jokes didn’t benefit, but only hurt. What do these rumors do to people? When I laugh at a derogatory rumor or stereotype, I am only hurting that person. I tend to even joke about how people stereotype me. Sorority girl? Yeah, I obviously dress up to impress the boys. Engineer? Yes, I am a huge nerd who loves to talk in Matlab code. Choir nerd? Just get me started on those Broadway tunes. By making fun of even myself, I am only expanding the gaps that tear us apart.

Now imagine the effect stereotyping has on someone who is already (and unwillingly) in the

public spotlight.

Especially in times like these we need to realize and cling to the one thing that brings us all together. No matter what social group or sports team, whether guilty or not guilty, whether man or woman, minority, engineer, heterosexual, asexual, homosexual or anything else, we are all Duke students.

The truth will all come out. There is no need to judge anyone, regardless of which side they take in a controversial issue. Separated, we can make little difference. Together, we can do the constructive things and have control over them Once we are all mature enough to get over our own insecurities, our desire to fit in, then I can stop making jokes I regret the next day, the Dukeobsrvr will be so nauseated by the peace on campus he/she will have nothing to write about, the truth will come out. When all has settled, I can write my sappy story about the Duke Alma Mater. I know I have a long way to go, but I’m going to try.

THE CHRONICLE

To the residents

Let

me begin by apologizing to Durham residents for the transgressions of my fellow students. To be clear, my apology is not for the alleged crimes of the Duke lacrosse team—I can apologize only for what I know to be fact.

Instead, I apologize for the elitism that too often shapes and strains the Duke-Durham relationship, for the racism that too many use to justify their silent condescension and for the daniel bowes economic and social ina simple observation equalities that seemingly provide us the opportunity to do so.

I write today not to defend, condemn or even seriously mention the lacrosse team, but to support the budding dialogue on the Duke-Durham partnership and add to it my own experiences and hopes.

I urge caution-too many individuals are tying the underlying problems involved in Duke-Durham relations so completely to one yet-unproven incident. This coupling creates the very real possibility that meaningful engagement between the Duke and Durham communities will never take place.

If the allegations turn out to be false, the push for genuine dialogue will lose any and all sense of urgency. For this reason, I’m almost as troubled by the potential repercussions of the players being found not guilty as I am by the possibility of being forced to accept my classmates as

rapists. Both situations victimize our community I came to Durham from Burlington, a cityjust down the interstate and very much like Durham. Before Duke I attended Hugh M. Cummings High School, a predominantly black school. Cummings, like Durham-Hillside and Southern, has, arguably, never been given a fair chance at success and is now under threat ofclosure for denying students their “constitutional right” to an equal education.

And for three years now, I’ve lived within Duke’s walls.

I’ve come to believe that Duke and Durham, like my two homes, while dissimilar, are not incompatible.

In nearly every community, there are pockets of bigotry—groups of individuals who operate on fear and assumption. Anyone who defends every student at Duke as tolerant and socially mindful is lying.

The truth is, many students come to Duke never having known economic or racial diversity. Traveling the world, touring its lands and peoples, is no substitute for the lessons and familiarity of daily interaction. Of course, then, there is an abundance of students ill-prepared for the interactions Durham requires of them.

Compounding the situation is the sense of competitiveness that any elite university inspires. We as students, for our entire lives, have been told by our parents, our schools and our friends that we’re the rightful leaders of tomorrow. Most freshmen at Duke are interacting with others who are equally if not more qualified for the first time.

Finding and focusing on differences—perceived advantages —can easily become a large part of one’s life.

These circumstances create large and numerous barriers, no doubt. A community, though, should be judged as much for its efforts to overcome its barriers as for the bar-

riers themselves Duke, I promise you, is not a lost cause—far from it.

I believe much of Duke genuinely cares for the wellbeing of Durham. Even before heinous headlines detailed rape, sodomy and strangulation, students, administrators and faculty were demanding more from the student body.

Since I’ve been at Duke, several instances ofracial insensitivity have arisen on campus and every time, students have responded passionately. These efforts have mushroomed in the weeks since the allegations.

Students expressing elitist and racist sentiments are not being allowed to avoid confrontation. Students who care are seeking out the disdain that has for too long plagued the Duke-Durham relationship. Duke’s walls will no longer be allowed to act as a buffer between students’ actions and community responsibilities.

My point in telling you this is not to make excuses or to ask that Durham stop its criticisms of our campus. I ask only that in the coming weeks, months and years, as students and administrators work to gain your trust, that you not dismiss our efforts as merely self-serving.

Though you, as Durham residents, have every right to judge us for our past failings, I ask that you judge instead the sincerity of our efforts to improve.

We as students can protest, sponsor campus-wide dialogue and pass resolutions to our hearts’ content, but any meaningful change requires that we be allowed to work together with you.

an extrajudicial statement that the lawyer knows dr reasonably should know will be disseminated by means of public communication and will have a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing an adjudicative proceeding in the matter.”

More specificically, “There are, on the other hand, certain subjects that are more likely than not to have a material prejudicial effect on a proceeding, particularly when they refer to a civil matter triable to a jury, a criminal matter, or any other proceeding that could result in incarceration. These subjects relate to . . the performance or results of any examination or test or the refusal or failure of a person to submit to an examination or test, or the identity or nature of physical evidence expected to be presented” or “any opinion as to the guilt or innocence of a defendant or suspect in a criminal case or proceeding that could result in incarceration.”

Best of luck in your investigation and, perhaps more important, upcoming election. For now, don’t worry about the trial—just get your face out there. Have fun on Bill O’Reilly’s show. Grandstanding before your election should clearly trump a clean investigation and prosecution—who cares if a rapist walks on a technicality so long as you can get re-elected?

Re: A questionnaire to include in your applications Gutten Tag! JACK’S writing to suggest a few questions you may want to ask our prospective students. JACK believes creating psychological profiles based on these questions would help alleviate the putative “white supremacy” and general d—baggery of the student population.

As girls are made of “sugar, spice, and everything nice” it will not be necessary for them to answer these questions. Also, girls that are huge *****es are generally really hot, and JACK thinks that’s necessary to create a thriving student population. However, it would be instructive to examine your applicants whose composition might be more geared toward the hind-part of a juvenile canine.

An Open Letter to the Duke University Union, Campus Council, DSG, and Administration Re: Beer Dear campus leaders and/or the administrators that handcuff them, It may be tempting to say, “I expect 1,000 people to attend this event, and I would like each person to have two beers. A keg holds 150 beers, approximately, so I will need

Women are:

14 kegs.”

When multiple entities [students] contend for the same resource [Bud Light] you must take into account not only the total demand for the resource but also the rate at which the resource can service the demanding entities [pour time]. The line will form at the rate of entities demanding the resource minus the service time of the resource. We can either decrease the service time [use cans] or parallelize the service [multiple taps] to get the line down to an acceptable size.

In short, having 15 kegs and one bartender is like having 15 bartenders and one keg—only marginally better than no beer at all.

The 2006 Kenan

Distinguished

Lecture in Ethics

Stanley Cavell Thinking About and Eating Animals:

Reflections on Coetzee’s The Lives of Animals Tuesday, April 4™, 5:00 pm of Art Auditorium Duke University

Nasher Museum

Reception to

follow

Stanley Cavell is the Walter M. Cabot Professor Emeritus of Aesthetics and the General Theory of Value at Harvard University. A former MacArthur Fellowship recipient, Cavell is well known for his creative approach to philosophy, literary criticism, and cultural studies and for his pioneering philosophical analyses of film. He is the author of many books, including The Claim of Reason: Wittgenstein, Skepticism, Morality, and Tragedy (1979) and Cities of Words: Pedagogical Letters on a Register of the Moral Life (2004).

His lecture will ask how we are to understand the fact—and the divide expressed therein—that while many take it for granted that humans massproduce and consume non-human animals, others are horrified by the practice.

The annual Kenan Lecture brings a distinguished speaker to campus to address moral issues of broad social and cultural significance.
